When the Brewers agreed to bring back free agent Mike Moustakas on a one-year deal, the assumption was that the move meant a return to the “Big Boy Infield” we saw in the second half of last season, with Travis Shaw moving back to second base.
Hold that thought, though, according to Shaw himself:
I consider this a hint as to where Mike Moustakas will play with #Brewers: Travis Shaw just said he expects to play third base.

Just a couple days before the signing, Shaw said he would welcome Moustakas back to the team with open arms.
